How to Prove Negligence in Sporting Injuries : Alexander Spanner and Cameron Petch

Welcome to The Legal Lounge, where you'll hear from Amanda and her team of lawyers from Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors talking about many aspects of law in England and Wales. During the series you'll hear from special guests, industry experts and local charities.

In this episode, Alexander Spanner and Cameron Petch from the Personal Injury Team discuss negligence claims in sporting activities and how certain levels of risks are applied to different sports. They discuss a case relating to someone who suffered a spinal injury during a rugby match, resulting in life-changing injuries, and the key factors which led to there being a successful negligence claim. Despite being an amateur match, it was videoed, which allowed for evidence to be available for the judge.
